There is one of these first gen Acton speakers on my local Marketplace in mint condition for $80. You sold me on it. I'm going to get it today. Ive been needing something reasonably loud enough to sit on my desk and play music to jam along w/ on electric guitar.
Just bought the Acton and mann oh mann, KISS sounds amazing on them, I mean other genres are good too but when it comes to rock 'n roll Marshall is just right.
Awesome review. So i just recently bought the Marshall Action II and my one big problem with it is that it keeps going on standby after 20 minutes, i don't know what or how to open it up and stop this.
Thanks for your video... I have a Marshall Kilburn and I love it. I had a problem though, the volume of the unit is too low now, regardless the source of the audio and/or if the battery is connected or not. This is very strange. Any ideas?
Ooh my god! The best rewiev i ever saw. i laught and wept i little bit. i am gonna buy one anyway but efter this i am more than sure. (old man from sweden)
Great review... Any chance of letting me know how far it sits from the wall when plugged it (allowing space for the power cable connection). I want this for my shop and need measurements for the shelf. Cheers.
I am not a audio components guy I just like your review and concept. Unlike other shit youtubers you have no BS and you said its a paid product not sent for review and all, teardown as well. Cheers!
Great review! I just bought the Kilburn on sale and had god time listening to the Greatful Dead from the deadhead app on my android phone. Very authentic sound I love to believe.
Yesssss! Slammed the thumbs up when you said that Marshalls are made for ROCK AND ROLL!! Just watched 2 annoying hiphop and techno demonstrations for this piece and almost jumped out of my skin.
Nice review. Curious to why you thought there may be tubes in this amp? If there is information it does, would probably be "NuTube" which Marhall, Vox etc are using now on some amps. Does give a very similar sound to valve tubes but new tech and looks completely different (more like a chipset). Keep up the great work.
i got mine today, how come mine doesnt have the power saver/standard switch at the back??? (im from italy), i really like the sound and look of it.....
be happy, because this model without button behind is the new version with 50w of power and improved bluetooth (new model is called ACTON BLUETOOTH...see the original box..)
Can you tell me if the front of the speaker (where the logo is) is glued on, or if I simply can tilt it off with a screedriver? I got meatball grease on it and I wanna change it. Is it possible?
My problem is that the speaker units is right behind, and therefore I'm afraid to damage the speakers with water.. Have any good ideas how to clean it? Speakers and water can't be a good combo..
On regular speaker cabinets the mesh would be glued/stapled to a wood “window” and that window would be screwed into the inside of the cabinet. This, however, is not taking as much wear and tear or abuse as a real guitar cab...so I assume it’s just stapled to the inside. Based on seeing the innards, they haven’t done too much different than their cab norms. Hope that helps.
Hi Robert! thanks for your great videos! I got myself the Stanmore after watching this :-) anyways, a lot of people on the internet having problems with their Marshall speaker...do a quick google...any comments on that? thanks!
i have this speaker ,and it really is amazing ,you have to listen to it in the flesh to understand , good video well explained what this speaker is about
Sorry man I love my action voice and I mainly listen to rap not eminem tho dont worry. I think it's the perfect compromise great for really anything layla sounds unreal though it although I do find it's too loud, my parents can hear it downstairs when it's relatively quite.
hey mr robert, i want to ask u about how to connect that amps with my guitar. can we do this? plis reply my comment . very nice to you said, this will be classic on 2025. yeahh..
If your using amp modeling and effects software on your computer, these can sound ok. But they do have a mid boost that you will have to EQ out or it will sound a little low mid heavy. Bias FX. Helix Native, Mercuial Spark all sound decent on my Woburn and Stammore speakers at TV volume and are quite fun for practice. Woburn sounds better than a Marshall Code.
Police & Thieves (The Clash) suits : ruclips.net/video/N3A8uNG3GH4/видео.html . VideoBob's review is on point ! It is a specialist speaker, says I, that can play reggae and rock. I listen to a lot of Doof Doof (progressive trance), the short list of 1hr Trance that didn't 'bass-burn' my jblflib4 was unlistenable on the Acton for too much bass!!! On the Box it says "clear midrange and extended highs". The treble control handles the highs. It is not a midrange speaker for any music. This should be your second bluetooth speaker. The bluetooth is weak imo - in room placement can affect reception from a 2014 HPavilion15 laptop. The Acton sound is good, only Treble at 7+ might jeopardise ear comfort. The bass is deep, not annoying or especially wall penetrating. VideoBob's review is solid.
Thanks for helping me not buy this speaker based on everything you've said and shown. If you really love the company you may be should of done a better job presenting it. 😵

After using a lot of bluetooth speakers, i still find myself coming back to the marshall speakers. They really do sound great.
I am a Bose guy. But Marshall are a great company! Enjoyed your review as well, great to see a 'non scripted'!
Is it "hifi" enough to enjoy my rock music, post punk , Doom stoner whatever it's That kind of music etc...?
Best review of marshall speakers till now.(the other video too)
Just bought the Acton and mann oh mann, KISS sounds amazing on them, I mean other genres are good too but when it comes to rock 'n roll Marshall is just right.
Name of speakers?
4 inch for sure, but which model?
Awesome review. So i just recently bought the Marshall Action II and my one big problem with it is that it keeps going on standby after 20 minutes, i don't know what or how to open it up and stop this.

me pasa lo mismo y se me desconecta el bluetooth tambien
Marshall Stanmore sound so crisp and clear and bass will move you
Ooh my god! The best rewiev i ever saw. i laught and wept i little bit. i am gonna buy one anyway but efter this i am more than sure. (old man

Great review... Any chance of letting me know how far it sits from the wall when plugged it (allowing space for the power cable connection). I want this for my shop and need measurements for the shelf. Cheers.
Remember, there is a port on the back too so you'll want at least an inch of clearance for better bass response.
Hi, how can i turn off the demostration mode on Marshall woburn multiroom?
Bumpin' 2Pac on my acton

Plz review on marshall stockwell portable speaker. Really want to see ur reaction for that.and maybe open and show the hardware on that
I really want one but I mostly listen to edm, so should I just get the soundlink 3?
I love mine but I own an IPHONE X but it won’t connect to Bluetooth anymore. Suggestions man?
Great review! Thank you so much. I like that video is so long. Because you explain most aspects I wanted to know about it.
Yesssss! Slammed the thumbs up when you said that Marshalls are made for ROCK AND ROLL!! Just watched 2 annoying hiphop and techno demonstrations for this piece and almost jumped out of my skin.
Yeah, all the thumbs down are from people who like rap and hip hop and wear their pants around their knees....
I have a Kilburn and even though it has a very pronounced boxy sound with shitty instrument separation, I still enjoy hearing through it.
You rock brother 🤘😎
(🤍Junior of the band Mucky Pup🎶)
"To me it makes good, good sense...Good sense..." Great video

I have no idea, I would assume so. Just try cleaning it.

Best review on RUclips! Metal and Marshall is all you need! 🤘🏼

Hi Robert! thanks for your great videos! I got myself the Stanmore after watching this :-) anyways, a lot of people on the internet having problems with their Marshall speaker...do a quick google...any comments on that? thanks!
Pantera sounds sooooo fucking good on this 👍

"playing cassettes?" LOL
So this speaker only sounds good with rock??
yup. Only rock. It literally won't even play other genres. only compatible with rock.
it kinda sound same with other songs but the rock will sound the best
Amazing sound!
hey mr robert, i want to ask u about how to connect that amps with my guitar. can we do this?
plis reply my comment .
very nice to you said, this will be classic on 2025. yeahh..
this is speaker , not guitar amp. But if you want amp, Marshall made them too.
If your using amp modeling and effects software on your computer, these can sound ok. But they do have a mid boost that you will have to EQ out or it will sound a little low mid heavy. Bias FX. Helix Native, Mercuial Spark all sound decent on my Woburn and Stammore speakers at TV volume and are quite fun for practice. Woburn sounds better than a Marshall Code.
I have 2 megabooms also
Pretty well built for a Bluetooth speaker.
No tubes. But take care of the fuse...
Superb! May have to get one
you are fucking amazing man, best review ever, and i hava acton connected to my turntable
made for Rock and F**king Roll (Love it)
that's acton 2 not a acton please be honest

F*****g good review!
In deed.....this should only play rock'n'roll
U like other music?😨....that's ur problem!
I listen to all sorts of music actually, everything has it's place and time.
So cool!
I love this review than you for this
Fuck yeah Bob
Tubes ?
Name Song please 20:14?
Ever heard of the app Shazam? LOL
Bose and jbl is the best bro
wtf!... I thought this would be a blackstar fly 3 comparison.. plug in a strat?.. good luck
.lol
Don’t think Marshall should have jumped into the consumer electronics area... no device like this (Bluetooth, etc) will be reliable for long.
Hero
👊🤣
I can't play my guitar on other Bluetooth speakers they sound like compressed muddy 💩
And there's a horrible delay in other 💩 overrated brands...
Thanks for helping me not buy this speaker based on everything you've said and shown. If you really love the company you may be should of done a better job presenting it. 😵
Actually, if you read the comments, lots of people loved the review and went out and bought one.
I have three of these I love it the bass is so good so yea
